I've not loved a digital chess option since Battle Chess on the Tandy 1000. It's fully stocked. I'm learning everyday. I can challenge friends and make new ones. The skill builders like coordinate training and puzzles are authentic. Bring free makes it financially accessible to everyone! I would like to help increase accessibility, some improvements can be made there. This app is a labor of love, and I feel loved by it. Thank you to the people who keep it running!

Finally an app that allows more of the site. It still has its problems. Find the settings. This app will drop pieces on squares you didn't touch. There is a delay so you rarely get the full increment. Also, not app specific, lichess does not do enough to eliminate and deter cheaters. If I wanted to play an engine, I would select an engine to play against. Do better lichess.

The app is performant, customizable, and has more functionality than the legacy app. However, there's one thing which was initially confusing. When opening the account page by tapping your profile image in the upper right, it opens "in" the home/puzzles/learn/etc. page you're currently in. For example, if I open the account page in Puzzles, move to Home, then move back to Puzzles, the account page will reopen, which is unexpected; I would expect to go directly to Puzzles.
